TITLE TALK

Gary Neville:

“People look at the run of matches we have got and wonder if
we can do it.

“The key thing to remember is that we don't have to play
them all at once. They have to play us as well and that will
be hard work for them.

“There is a really good atmosphere about us and the win
[against Liverpool] sets down a marker for the games which
lie ahead,

"Arsenal's defeat at Blackburn a couple of weeks ago
provided us with a bit of a push,

"You could sense something extra against Fulham in the
following game and it was there again yesterday. There is a
really good atmosphere about us and this win sets down a
marker for the games which lie ahead.”

Vieira:

“We've now got two huge games but it is not the first time
we have been in this position,

“It was the same in 1998 and 2002 when Arsenal did the
double. The hardest thing is to do that once. When you've
done that, you know what to expect and what is needed next
time and that experience is going to be on our side.”

Wenger:

“The title is still in our hands. I am convinced of that.
There is a long way to go, six games, and a lot will happen.

"We will freshen our legs a bit this week and then we've got
the FA Cup semi-final and then the Manchester United game.

"We will be up for it, have no worries about that. I don't
think the momentum is especially with United after their win
against Liverpool and in football it all changes very
quickly.

"The boys are very disappointed. They were very professional
and willing and showed a fantastic attitude. They gave
everything, even though some of them were tired after two
internationals and some lengthy travelling."

Fergie:

"The empire is supposed to be crumbling, but I think the
games we have got coming up will tell me everything I need
to know about this team. Is the Double on? I think we can
beat anyone."

And Bobby Robson conceded defeat after losing 2-1 at
Everton:

“"I think that has killed our chances, any realistic hope of
nicking it if the others slip up.”
